UV Curing Using Vinyl Ethers. 308 nm Excimer Lamps as Radiation Source and Online Monitoring of the Curing Process by Ion Mobility Spectroscopy

Vinyl ethers are known as non-irritant reactive diluents for UV-curable formulations. In acrylate based systems they could replace monomeric acrylates providing better diluting properties in combination with higher 1 However, subject of this study will be blends of epoxides together with vinyl ethers. Also in these systems the viscosity of the system is reduced and increased cure rates can be 24 Moreover, improved of the final coating can be obtained when epoxides are UV cured together with vinyl
